Billy's sister, Lucy passes away. Yes, that Lucy. Ben, Cliff, Leanne, and Billy, are off to her house and funeral at a beach location. A murder takes place and here we go.
I think Ben was out-of-character here in the two-parter and in the episode before that, the season premiere. Ben seems almost disinterested in being a lawyer. He seems more interested in doing other things. Leanne and Cliff take the lead and do the investigation for the most part. Leanne is the one that represents Clyde. She has to pull hairs to get Ben to take an interest in the case and take action. It seems odd they wrote it this way. I mean, I could totally see it from Leanne and Cliff's pov because of Tim's questions. Then Tim "drowns" and the lifeguard that tried to save him is suddenly murdered. I could definitely see how that intrigued them and made them know something wasn't right. Anyway, just not the Ben I know.
In this one the audience knows who the murderers are, ala Columbo. It becomes an investigation and then a how-to-catch-em for Leanne, Cliff, and Ben. The two young women, Carrie and Ashley, were meticulous. The setup took up the entirety of part 1. Tim being set up, him trying to get proof, him being killed by making it look like a drowning, and then Mike(who was the one to drown Tim at Carrie's behest) being killed by Carrie, and then setting up poor Clyde for it. This was all actually compelling. Carrie and Ashley were psychopaths and it was interesting watching their plan unfold.
Carrie is played by a young Jerry Ryan from the Star Trek franchise. I almost wasn't completely sure if that was her or if it was someone who looked a lot like her. But I saw her name in the credits in part two, which I didn't notice in the first part.
I thought maybe the syringe cap which Carrie removed with her mouth and tossed would come into play as part of the gotcha evidence by Ben and the gang later on. But no, it never did, and Carrie must have removed it I guess.
Ben was funny at times but mainly seemed uninvolved and uninterested as Leanne and Cliff seemed to lead this. It really wasn't until about the second half-hour of part two did Ben get involved with the case. The villains and the whole premise of the murder story were pretty good. 8/10.
